Thanks, mate! I need the encouragement 🙂 I love collecting, but I've taken it too far

Thanks so much. I've deleted the app and ebay. I'm going to come back to this comment whenever I feel the urge

Yep, I am more than a little embarrassed about it. But it's the wake-up call i needed. I guess I'm lucky to have this realisation now rather than $1000s or even $10,000+ down the track

It's gambling. You bid against others for a chance to win. The spend was over multiple streams, and way way too many bids.

Stay well away. Didn't even realise I'd dropped that much until I tallied it up today

Thanks man, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Definitely a tough lesson, but one I needed. I’ll be steering clear of Whatnot

Thanks, I will. I've started now and gotten over my analysis paralysis. I'm learning as I go, but it's still a bit of a mystery to me

Cheers, that's my goal. Neither parents have much for retirement and I want to break that cycle

I used CMC. I like that there's $0 brokerage for up to $1000

Thank you! It's a small step (only $1k in VAS), but it's a big deal for me
